Preserving story choreographies across multiple platforms - An approach to platform-independent reuse of characters’ behaviors for games, simulations, animations and interactive videos
2 likes248 views
The document discusses the process of developing story choreographies for serious games and simulations, emphasizing the importance of these choreographies' semantics based on the intended purpose. It highlights that if a training game cannot adapt to instructors' evolving needs, it will likely not be used. Various examples and recipes for story choreography are provided, including interactions among characters like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker.

- 2. Story choreographies go from staging diagrams to prototypes, until final rendering
- 3. In serious games, training simulations, data analysis, and after-action review, the most valuable information is not the visual quality: it’s the meaning of actions.
- 4. The semantics of the story choreographies depend on the actual purpose of the game/simulation/animation/interactive video…
- 5. “Initially, instructors may make time for using a new training game. However, if the game cannot be modified according to their experience, their changing training needs, or the emerging conditions of the current operational environment, then the game will not be utilized.”
